She's got a kind of Carmen Sandiago vibe going for her, don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 

Yeah where in the galaxy is Natasi Daala?

Star Wars Discussion / Re: A WHAT IF scenario. Yuuzhan Vong vs Galactic Empire(Rebellion never happened)

« on: June 08, 2012, 04:45:56 PM »

At least for Humans and Imperials, I'm pretty sure if Palpatine and his Xenophobic cronies had had their way than all undesirable aliens would of either been enslaved or exterminated, and many of their worlds would of been destroyed by super-weapons. Now of course if Thrawn had won against the New Republic than the Yuzhan Vong would of just been owned.   

Yes a good point. Palpatine's greatest weakness was his belief in alien inferiority. I think that what Wedge said when asked how he thought Thrawn would do against the Vong, " If he had some Vong artwork he would have pasted them."

I have to agree, though I'm also a fan of Jagged Fel (Being raised among Chiss is just a very interesting idea to me) as well as Daala (Beat stick "strategy" is entertaining)

Fel is a good character, Daala always struck me as a better subordinate than leader.

Gotta love Ardus Kaine, not much competition there. Though the fighting between Grunger and Pitta always made me chuckle...

I have to say I saw that coming lol. I really wish they would show or describe in detail the battle between Grunger and Pitta(Grunger had an armada of 26 ISDs and 100 or so support ships with Aggressor SSD) Pitta had a torpedo sphere and the corellian sector fleet(MUCH smaller than Grunger's force) According to EGW Grunger was one of the best of the Grand Admirals as far as tactical brilliance and Pitta was supposed to be about average admiral level(albeit a fanatical zealot)
How the devil was Grunger's fleet wiped out so utterly leaving him only the kamikaze crash to earn a draw.

I'll have to concur with some above posts, would've been a good fight (tons of fun to read), but in the end (assuming stability in the Empire...less Rebellion and all) it would've been a much more organized and less destructive war. Also, it was a large scale military campaign, something the Empire would shine at competing in.

Yes indeed. As long as the center of the Empire lived(the Emperor) it would be unified if just through fear alone in it's war. Also you are quite right the Imperial War machine was built fro large scale warfare.

I'm gonna have to agree, he lost his marbles. Being that drunk with power then wandering the abyss....regaining his power would have..interesting effects on his psyche. Though I am curious...if it took him that long to get to a clone body...how could he (attempt to) jump into Anakin's body so quickly. Hm. I guess proximity could have something to do with it.

Indeed. It is proximity(most of the time he died he was WAAAY away from a useable body), compatibility( if the bodies host rejects to powerfully the invading spirit can be destroyed) and concentration(without absolute focus the jump can tear the spirit into shreds) all are factors.

I had to throw my vote in with Pellaeon....though Thrawn is very close. The couple points that do it for me is service record and general personality. However, I would never downplay Thrawn's tactical genius, I just respect the amount of dedication to the fleet (be it Republic, Empire, etc). I also wasn't too keen on thrawn keeping Noghri under the Imperial boot.

A good choice with excellent reasons. Pellaeon is my favorite EU character.

Yeah true i was just going to say thats one of the Hardest GCs to defend your Border planets  because the rebels just keep coming with their Hapan and IR units and a few of their own heroes.

That's why you must defend by using Iron Fist to wreak havoc on their border worlds. Strike hard and fast to stagger them while you gather strength! Blitzkrieg!

Thrawn Campaign, mission to destroy the Mount Tantiss cloning lab. This was critical to hampering the Imp war effort and could be used to make Wayland more tactically significant. Like say make troopers grown there be built three times as fast as on other worlds in addition to it's current 1 cred cost.
Once the mission is finished the cloning center is destroyed and the planet goes to NR but without the speed or cred bonus for the creation of troops after that.

I like Hunt For Zsinj also but Zsinj starts off with not a lot of Units and low money.

That's actually how it would have been. he had the Quelli Sector Fleet and 100 VSDs when he became an independant warlord he would have had to create his own economy for his kingdom from basic scratch. He became very wealthy but probably had to start low when Imperial Center cut off his funding.

Really! I've never heard of this Empire at War before.

Just t let you know, three gameplay clips were posted on the Star Wars website. It looks awesome, actually reminiscent of RC, and the gameplay is Cinematic. They did very good with the motion capture on this.

I'll have to see this. Does it look like the game incorporates more stealth aspects?

sounds like he got what he deserved

Yes, all the deep core warlords did. They were so absorbed with their own egos they couldn't see the bigger picture and were blind to the fact that individually they were insignificant on the galactic scale but if they unified they could become quite a force to be reckoned with. They died due to their lack of vision and it's for the best.

well, its all true

Indeed, you could say that the Rebels defeat of the Emperor's New Order was the worst thing to happen to the Galaxy.

Have a slight bug to report. The PA in AOW can't land troops(other than the first unit you start with in an invasion of a planet) the pop cap says (1/0) my infantry can't capture mining buildings, sensor arrays or abandoned factories. I can capture build pads though. Space units work great though.
